Don't worry, Judi. If you read the whole thing - which you might have been too distracted to do - the only real evidence for these guys being girly-men seems to be that they'll wear the color pink and wooden bracelets their girlfriends give them. But aren't we really more concerned with what's underneath the fashions? And the payoff at the end says guys like Arnold Schwarzenegger are an endangered species. They'll be celebrations all over California when that news gets around.

Folks, the key here is that advertisers have discovered that there is a demographic of MEN WHO SHOP FOR CLOTHES WILLINGLY!!

Nearly half of males between 16 and 29 spend more than $150 a month on fashion, and nearly one in five spends more than $250. . .The student, 21, spends a quarter of his income on fashion and reckons his mates are baffled as to how he can pay $100 for a haircut.

Guys, wake up! We have to stop this! If the trend continues, women might expect us to go to the mall of our own free will! Reguarly!

Give me a break. If you are "The proud owner of three pink shirts, a new pink scarf, and 10 man-bags" who "insists on "a different bag for different occasions" and struggles to leave home with just a wallet and a phone" you are a queen, honey.

Who makes this s#%t up for the fashion/society pages? I mean, you KNOW it's a joke. The sit around at the editorial meeting eating cannibisquits and wondering if they can fool the public yet again.

Mirls?
WTF?
I think that metrosexuals are lame.
But MIRLS?
OMFG.
I personally am a very macho guy.
I may be a little sensitive, but if i EVER wore pink, my friends would kill me.
As i would ask them to.
I mean seriously, is it worth trading muscles and any hope of being even SOMEWHAT masculine, just so you can get a 100$ haircut?
I think not.
I'd rather buy beer and pot.
Maybe that's just me.

And as a side note, I like queers.
If you don't like the term queer, that's your problem.
But i really hate fake queers. Mirls?
Metrosexuals?
These are the people that need severe beatings.
Leave gays alone, they don't take our women.
Well, lesbians might, but that's for a good cause, or at least a pretty one.
But these fakers... Oh gawd.
These losers need to be disfigured, or dismembered.
But i sense i've gone too far.

Damn, he's ugly. Call out the geek patrol! That's one of the _worst_ haircuts I've _ever_ seen. I agree with whomever said he should grow a mullet. Anything's better than that. . .that. . ._that_ . *shudder of disgust* What's with that strange cloth garbage sack around his waist? Doesn't he realize how tacky that so-called jewelry is? Red is _not_ his color. I don't even want to _think_ about what shoes he picked out to wear with that. . .whatever that is. He should be arrested by the fashion police. If this guy asked me out, I wouldn't be able to say no. . .because I'd be rolling on the floor in hysterical laughter at anyone who looks that ridiculous.

i guess queer eye for the straight guy has been a success. thankfully, my guy still hates to shop, owns 14 plaid shirts and 4 prs of chinos, and a suit jacket he bought during the reagan administration. but he plays the piano. should i worry?

If my husband ever bought a "man-bag" I think it would be grounds for divorce. Fortunately, my wonderful genius engineer husband wears plaid shirts and khakis (similar to queensbee's man). He also plays the trumpet and enjoys sitting on the couch, drinking beer and watching movies where bad guys get beat up and cars explode frequently. He's just a natural part of the guy universe.
